@Badumsquish  
It’s funny; once you left, I just… stopped making daily visits. Now I just show up a few times a week. Huh…
 
… you really are the soul of many. No pressure, but we won’t be forgetting you. It’s not about the things you’ve done, but the way you’ve done them. Show-accurate. Odd. Memorable.
 
The only way you’d ever be forgotten is if all of society perished. Until then, you will ALWAYS be remembered and thought about by someone. You matter.
 
You matter more than you can ever hope to truly grasp… and if that’s one thing 27 Badges won’t tell you, then goddammit, I’m at least glad to be one of the many to say it.

@Badumsquish  
No problem mate. You’re like the glue that keeps this site together, and we’ll always have your back.

Thanks guys :)

@Badumsquish  
I’m so sorry…:(

Take any amount of time that you need. Sometimes you just need to step back and breathe

@Badumsquish  
Damn that’s rough losing people is always hard.  
I know what you mean about depression just sort of obliterating your usual tolerances and I hope you start feeling more up soon.  
I’ve never met you in person but everything I’ve seen you write gives me the impression that your a good person who deserves happiness. Hang in there man the worlds a better place for having you in it.

I hope you feel better soon Badsquish.Losing a friend and depression can take a while to recover from. I just want you to know I will be thinking of you. So don’t you ever feel like a stranger! Get your happy spirit back and remember you have a lot of people who think you’re awesome. Time heals the wounds in all of our hearts. So believe in a time when you feel better and it will happen.

@Binkyt11  
Me and him will always be friends.

@Badumsquish  
Well, I’m glad to hear that y’all are still close. And I find it really kind of you to log back in to see if he was alright and such.

@BigBuggyBastage  
:)
 
@Binkyt11  
Thanks a lot buddy :)
 
Again, though, like nothing has changed between me and this guy. He’s still one of my best friends on the site and I even logged on mostly to see how he was doing.

@Badumsquish  
Hey there. Nice to see you again friendo.
 
First of all, I am so sorry for your loss. It’s very stressful to lose someone and I hope that you and his family gain all the support y’all can from this.
 
And I can relate to that feeling as well. While it hadn’t happened directly to myself, and under different circumstances— some people I was friends with in the past have done that to a lot once they left back to district. It’s quite unfortunate when somebody you trust or had trusted just does this, but all I’m going to say for any person who does that to you will be many others who care and will try to relate and listen. I know it.

@Parallel Black  
Thanks man :)

@Badumsquish  
Good to hear from you again, dude :)
 
I know what that feels like for sure, at least the feeling betrayed part. Just give it time and you’ll find your sense of balance again, and remember that there’s more than one person you can talk to about anything that’s bothering you.

I appreciate all the care and concern, I really do :)
 
Don’t worry, a lot of it is real life stress due to a bad life event I recently had. Not to get into too much detail but a good friend of mine passed away. Basically right now I’m really depressed from it so stuff that’d normally roll off my shoulders is really getting to me.
 
Even the conversation I had here that made me want to quit wasn’t bad in the sense like it was insulting or anything like that. It was actually with one of my best friends on this site. I asked him about something and the answer he gave me made me just want to give up and throw in the towel. You ever have where something is really bothering you and someone else is like “Yeah, that’s no big deal we really don’t care about it and we’re not even willing to discuss it” and it just makes you feel really betrayed? It was one of those things. So I decided to take a good long break before that happened.
 
Anyway I’ll be on again off again of the site here and there (I don’t want you guys to forget about me) but I don’t really know when I’m going to actually pick up pencil and paper again.

Badumsquish ¿can you draw firginia and anon conviving?

Sad to hear you feel that way, badum, but I have serious abandonment issues and would prefer it if there were a “next time” to look forward to, however distant that may be.

@Background Pony #ADCA  
Wouldn’t that just be a Tatzlpony (with trifurcated jaw, which he’s not a fan of) but leathery and scaley instead of floofy? :Ta

@Background Pony #ADCA  
oh yeah this is a nice idea

 
Make this a pony

Not my proudest fap…

Thought this was a Nuckelavee at first. Then I noticed it’s a Gravity Falls reference XD
 
Also, take however long you need, man. Real life comes first.

@Deserter  
Yeah, I can’t help but wonder what happened.

I’d be real sad if you left, Badum. You’re one of the few artists that keeps me coming back to derpibooru. I hope everything works out! Have a good break.

@Captain Empanada  
well um technically uhm nah
